Nobody cares.
Some I've talked to face to face genuinely believe that the vaccines are reason society was able to move on from Covid.
Pro Vax or not, nothing is wrong with wanting an open discussion.

Thoughts on the COVID vaccines?

Do you think they were safe
It's not looking good.
How so?
ETA: the opposite is true...
Recent research indicates that mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines (such as those from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna) may significantly enhance the effectiveness of cancer immunotherapy. A major retrospective study of over 1,000 patients found that those who received an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine within 100 days of starting immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) lived nearly twice as long as those who did not.

Key Clinical Findings
Lung Cancer Survival: Patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who received the vaccine had a median survival of 37.3 months, compared to 20.6 months for unvaccinated patients.
Melanoma Survival: Vaccinated melanoma patients also showed significantly improved survival rates, with many not reaching the median survival point even three years into follow-up.
"Cold" Tumors: The benefit was most pronounced in patients with "immunologically cold" tumors—those typically resistant to immunotherapy—who saw a nearly fivefold improvement in three-year survival.
Specificity: This effect appears unique to mRNA vaccines; patients who received flu or pneumonia vaccines did not see similar survival benefits.

Four of the five in my immediate family are #pureblood. My oldest daughter had to take one shot to get into the nursing school. She has had autoimmune issues, severe weight loss (no pic, but did not need), and had to be put on a heart monitor since. She loves her job but not the jab she had to get to have it.

You think the shot caused all her health issues?

heart issues after covid vaccination
+15
Heart issues following COVID-19 vaccination are rare, and health agencies emphasize that the benefits of vaccination in preventing severe COVID-19 and its associated cardiac complications generally outweigh these potential risks.

Reported Cardiac Conditions
The most frequently identified heart issues associated with COVID-19 vaccination include:
Myocarditis and Pericarditis: Inflammation of the heart muscle or outer lining.
Demographics: Most common in male adolescents and young adults (ages 12–39).
Timing: Symptoms usually occur within 7 days of receiving a dose, more frequently after the second dose of an mRNA vaccine (Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna).
Severity: Most cases are mild and resolve quickly with rest and medication (such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs).
Heart Rhythm Disorders (Arrhythmias): Some studies suggest a potential link to palpitations or new-onset atrial fibrillation, though these are also very rare.
Hypertension: A transient increase in blood pressure has been reported in about 3.2% of vaccine recipients.

Sir, Project Warp Speed was one of the greatest endeavors and achievements in American history.

Natural antibodies.
No need for a fake vaccine

It agreed with your post.

Not impossible, as you can attest.
But very rare, especially in young females..
Also rare that it didn't resolve itself, especially by now.

How many are still masking?

I didn't know if they were safe or effective. All I knew was that I didn't want to be injected with a vaccine that was developed in such a short period of time and never went through the proper research duration to know what kind of side effects it causes. I didn't want to be a lab rat for an experimental drug that nobody knew anything about. That actually scared me more than the virus itself. My employer didn't require it at first but eventually mandated that all employees be vaccinated by X date or face termination. The only way you could stay employed and not be required to take the vaccine was if you got a religious exemption which is exactly what I did. Many of my coworkers had the same concerns about it but were forced into getting it just to keep their jobs. I know one guy who was near retirement and took it just so he didn't throw his 30-year career down the drain. None of it ever felt right to me.
